Title: System and method for masking quantization noise of audio signals
Inventor: MALVAR HENRIQUE S
IPC: H04L12/20
Filed: 1999-05-27
Abstract: A system and method for processing an audio signal and including a scalable audio coder (300) and a decoder. The coder (300) includes a multi-resolution transform processor (310), such as a modulated lapped transform (MLT) transform processor, a weighting processor (312), a uniform quantizer (314), a masking threshold spectrum processor (316), an entropy encoder (318), and a communication device (320), such as a multiplexor (MUX) for multiplexing (combining) signals received from the above components for transmission over a single medium. The coder (300) encodes the audio signal by resolution switching, spectral weighting and digital encoding the audio signal. Also, parametric modeling of the digitally encoded signal is performed to enhance encoding. The decoder comprises inverse components of the coder (300) for decoding the encoded audio signal.

Patent AU-4757079-A (AU)
Title: Identification system
Inventor: COLE PETER H
IPC: G07C11/00
Filed: 1978-06-02
Abstract: An object identification system has a transmitter (8) supplying a signal (M13) from an inductor (3) of a transmitter (8) by low loss near-field coupling to an inductor (1) of a transponder (5) on the object to be identified. The energy of this signal (M13) is stored in a capacitor (6) and re-radiated by the inductor (1), at a reduced frequency formed in effect by cancellation of part of the incoming wave, to an inductor (2) of a receiver (7) as a reply signal (M12). The reduction in frequency is achieved by a switching system in the transponder (5) which is controlled by a control signal (P1) from a control circuit (4). This control circuit may be powered by energy (P2) from the inductor (1). The switching is performed by a FET (TR1) and occurs at suitable points in the operating cycle to ensure the minimum energy loss. The operation of switching is coded in code generator (20) to produce a desired reply signal (M12) carrying information about the object  to be identified.

Title: Flushable ostomy pouch
Inventor: KEYES DENIS E
IPC: A61F5/445
Filed: 1994-02-07
Abstract: The ostomy pouch 10 has a coupling or securement member formed as a washer-shaped wafer 32 of adhesive material, preferably a hydrocolloid. The pouch 10 is secured directly onto the abdominal wall 13 with the adhesive wafer aligned with the stoma 50. Flushability of the pouch is enhanced by forming the pouch with converging side walls within an optimum angular range and a predetermined pouch width and pouch height. The pouch also has a predetermined wall thickness and the wafer is of predetermined thickness. Thus when the pouch is deposited in a water-saver toilet, bottom end first in a carrier sleeve or bag, the pouch can flow in streamlined fashion through the passages of a toilet and any sewer pipe or septic line connected to the toilet. If the flush capacity of the toilet and the flow rate of water through the toilet and sewer line are increased, the ostomy pouch can be deposited in the toilet without a carrier sleeve or bag. <IMAGE>
